Ode to the Bridge

Jack is an Armenian American painter, whose current body of work addresses the turmoil he often feels, as he struggles to balance his family’s cultural heritage and his desire to embrace and understand the American culture. His work is a mixture of abstract and figurative, often chaotic with a lot of movement, sometimes with fragmented human forms floating between reality and abstract spaces, the theoretical vs. the actual addressing his quest to find the equilibrium between two cultures.

Ode to the Bridge

Ode to the Bridge – In September of 2015 I curated a major art exhibition for Art Share LA commemorating the beloved 6th Street Viaduct. The multi-media group-show entitled Ode to the Bridge featured over 30 local artists’ renditions of this landmark architecture, which was slated for demolition a few months later. Of the 80 pieces exhibited, I sold 27.
